What I'm Reading & What's In the Mailbox 2/21

Mailbox Monday, hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page is a meme where folks share the yummy books that showed up at our doors! WARNING: Mailbox Mondays can lead to extreme envy and GINORMOUS wishlists!! I had several goodies in my mailbox this week. The Creation of Eve by Lynn Cullen, Watermark by Vanitha Sankaran for a TLC Book Tour and Rumor Has It by Jill Mansell from Sourcebooks. Jill Mansell is always funny, and both Cullen and Sankaran are new to me, writing in my favorite genre, historical fiction.
What Are You Reading On Monday is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through Books.

This is yet another opportunity to make other bibliophiles jealous of the good stuff you got to enjoy the past week. I'm usually a 2 book a week gal, with an audio or 2 thrown in, but I read several novels this week which I will be reviewing soon, all of which are historical fiction. Lynn Cullen's The Creation of Eve {Loved it!}, O'Juliet, which I won from the author, Robin Maxwell, and The Founding, a Sourcebooks reprint by Cynthia Harrod Eagles. I also read a few from the library including M.C. Beaton's Death of a Cad, the second book in her Hamish MacBeth series, which I really enjoy, Death of a Cozy Writer by G.M. Malliet, and To the Tower Born by Robin Maxwell. I don't always review books I get from the library, so I'll just tell you these are three winners if you like cozy mysteries or historical fiction.

Sounds like you have a fantastic week! I have never read anything by Jill Mansell, but hearing you and the other saying that her books are funny make me feel like trying. Thank you for sharing and may you have a fantastic week ahead =)

I haven't read a Jill Mansell book but I've seen them mentioned on a lot of blogs. Yay for the historical fiction books!!Elizabeth, I'm wondering how you get the text to surround the "mailbox" and "It's Monday" buttons. I can't figure out how to do that. Any tips?Have a great week!
